Question 1 Report

The angle between latitudes 30oS and 13oN is

Answer Details
The distance between two latitudes is always the same, and this distance is equal to 1/360th of the circumference of the earth. The circumference of the earth is approximately 40,000 km, so 1/360th of the circumference is approximately 111 km. To find the angle between latitudes 30°S and 13°N, we need to add the distance between these latitudes to the angle at the center of the earth. The distance between 30°S and the equator (0°) is 30°, and the distance between the equator and 13°N is 13°, for a total distance of 43°. Therefore, the angle between latitudes 30°S and 13°N is 43°. So, the answer is

43o
